Re: USAAF aircraft record cards WW2: translation!
Phil
I should perhaps have been more explicit.
All these codes are destination codes.
SOXO replaced UGLY at some point for 8th AF in Britain.
The USAAF IARC can be very difficult to read since a lot of what's in there
are in codes. Normally the assigned stations are written with four digits
within the US and one letter + three digits outside the States. If you are
lucky they are written in clear language, now and then shortened.
If you want to read these cards properly you should get Robert Mann's
Aircraft Record Cards of the United States Air Force.
Unfortunately the book doesn't answer all questions, but it is a good
beginning!
Cheers
Stig
